Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 210

Episode 210. A Trivial Settlement (2)

The sudden start of the Dawn Society's Bishop hunt.

The target was not simply the 'bishops', but all the positions that could be occupied.

In other words, Eleanor, the 'Arch Bishop', is also included in the hunt.

“Ugh, ugh…….”

However, she was a sorceress of the Yin element and held the rare status of a 5th-tier 'Vargo', so she had no intention of giving in easily.

After knocking down all the sect members who had rushed at her, she glared at the groaning man with cold eyes.

After that, he walked over to them with brisk strides and took off the marks on their chests.

'Magi.'

A sign of a coiled snake. It clearly had magical energy flowing through it.

However, it was not a typical 'magic'. It was a 'magic' that was more sensitive to humans thanks to the magical measures taken, and at the same time.

'It was designed to send residual thoughts to the Genmel Monastery.'

It was a sorcery whose intention was easily known.

'This is the reason why I was not allowed to enter the monastery recently.'

To inject 'remnant thoughts' into the holy relics and demonic spirits to make them more powerful.

'Tenelon.'

Eleanor glared at the fallen cult members again, thinking to herself the name of the Patriarch.

The 'Remnant Thoughts' collected from the 'Dawn Society' up until now and the 'Remnant Thoughts' obtained through this opportunity. If you collect all of these, you will be able to create a 'Triangle' level demon.

However, it was absurd to cause such a fuss.

'The triangle demon is something that even Sir Yurian can defeat on his own.'

Eleanor was lost in thought.

'Is there another way?'

It was questionable why the patriarch, who had been unmoving until now, would take such a drastic action.

Although they took incomprehensible actions, saying that they could not hear the 'voice', that was something that happened within the 'Yeongmyeonghoe' and did not spread to the outside.

“Sir Eleanor, are you all right?”

Eleanor, who was questioning the bizarrely strange behavior of the Patriarch, turned her gaze to Pelkor, who suddenly ran towards her.

After that, Eleanor looked at Pelkor's complexion.

Among the 'members of the cult' who had just attacked him, there was a 'monsignor'.

After all, there are probably a lot of people who want to become a 'Bishop'.

'What good does a bishop have to do with the Dawn Society now that it's in this state?'

Anyway, Eleanor took a closer look at Pelkor's neck.

“I, I don’t have a mark! I came to help Lady Eleanor by order of Sir Yurian.”

“By the order of Lord Yurian?”

"yes!"

At those words, Eleanor took a look at Pelkor's face and thought.

“I heard that not only Sir Eleanor, but also Pintel’s private soldiers were deployed to protect other bishops.”

Eleanor laughed in vain at Pelkor's subsequent words.

'I plan to use this opportunity to solidify my position.'

Although the Patriarch's actions are incomprehensible now, there is one thing we can be sure of.

That is, his life is not long.

If the position of Patriarch becomes vacant, there will inevitably be a need for 'someone' to take that position.

“This is it, I ate it in one go!”

Just as Eleanor was gathering her thoughts, a hearty voice interrupted her.

Although she was dissatisfied with having so many people in her mansion, Eleanor looked at the crowd that came in without much complaint.

“Kolparan Sir.”

Bishop Colparan and his assistant, Monsignor Al Hassar.

The barrier became useless due to the intrusion of the cult members, but when I scratched the remaining 'Mana Dust', I could see that Colparan's private soldiers were stationed around the area.

Do you have any impure intentions?

Eleanor was momentarily suspicious, but soon realized that if he had come to deal with her as the 'Arch Bishop', he would not have stationed his private soldiers outside.

“You’re late. I don’t think it’s possible to put the Bishops in debt.”

If so, then the intention must be to take advantage of this commotion to protect the 'Bishops' and gain their support.

It wasn't radical, but it was snake-like behavior.

“Yurian’s actions were faster than mine.”

Colparan opened his mouth, running his hand through his bleached white beard.

“But, Tenelon. Why is that idiot doing such a thing?”

“I’m curious about that too.”

“You’ve finally lost your mind after relying on the ‘voice’.”

Colparan, who is being dragged around once again.

“As for me, I have no idea what that voice is.”

As he said that, Colparan shook his head from side to side as if he did not understand.

“What will you do from now on, Lord Colparan?”

“What are you going to do about that?”

At Colparan's question, Eleanor looked at Pelkor's face once and opened her mouth.

“We’ll have to wait and see how things end.”

“Kekeke, I’m the same. However, just in case something happens, I should prepare to leave the system.”

Something you never know.

Eleanor also knows that there are many factors involved.

The predecessor of the Yeomyeonghoe is revealed to the world.

Because of that, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that our identity will be revealed.

***

At the end of his blinking vision, Haydn traced the red blood on his hands.

That thing, which felt so strongly of 'magic', was no longer a 'human' thing.

'Just right.'

Looking at his own blood like that, Haydn actually thought that it was okay.

“Master, are you okay?”

“Linne, I have a favor to ask.”

Haydn opened his mouth right away when Linnaeus asked about his well-being.

At first, Linne's eyes were filled with confusion at the determined attitude, but soon the wavering subsided.

"yes."

“Please carry me to Genmel Monastery.”

“Is the leader of the Dawn Society there?”

"okay."

Looking at Haydn, who nodded, Linnaeus began to support him.

One step, one step.

As they went on, Linné became more and more realistic.

The master is going to die soon.

I've been pretending to be fine until now, but this body has already rotted away.

“Why did it turn out like this?”

The thought crossed my mind that if I ever reached Genmel Monastery, I would really not be able to see my master.

– “I see you lost your family. I feel the same way.”

Although he was acting in an incomprehensible manner, as if he were a different person than before, Haydn was like a second father to Linnaeus.

– “Will you follow me? I won’t stop you.”

As that person was facing death, I unconsciously clenched my fists.

***

When I saw Tenelon's face, who was flustered because the effect of 'Mashinseong' was not working, I immediately kicked the ground.

'End it before you do anything useless.'

However, I am not sure if it is possible to prevent only the 'forced demonization' caused by 'Masinity' and nullify the additional effects.

So, let's do it quickly.

It would be best to finish it off by beheading Tenelon.

Blame──!

As we quickly closed the distance, Tenelon's hideous face came closer, his mask removed.

After activating the Moonlight Sword, I immediately swung my sword to cut off Tenelon's head, but his hand grabbed the blade of the Moonlight Sword.

“Ugh……!”

Chiiik──!

A burning sound, accompanied by acrid smoke, was heard from the Moon Sword.

Startled, I immediately kicked Tenelon's body with my foot and stepped back.

'What is this?'

I took a step back and took a look at the Moon Sword.

A gem that was given the name 'Moonstone' because it looked like it was holding the moon. The gemstone sword that satisfied Yurian's bizarre aesthetic sense still had black soot marks on it.

'Is it corrosion?'

For a moment, I almost got annoyed. How did I buy this sword, how did I prepare it!

Don't even think about dying in peace, you punk, by damaging it.

'That's dangerous.'

Leaving aside such personal feelings, I decided that it would be dangerous to touch Tenelon's hands.

'Is this an additional ability of the Demon God?'

Perhaps, it is the ability to compress the residual thoughts contained in the 'holy relic' to the extreme and utilize them with the tip of one's fingers.

If it touches your body, it will corrode instantly, leaving permanent damage.

“Why, why isn’t demonization progressing?”

Tenelon still seems confused because I am not affected by the effects of 'Masinity'.

Imma, I am also a 〈vessel〉 like you. Even if I become a higher level trait, will it work?

Kreuk──.

As we split the sum, 'Angelica' began to stir and reveal itself inside the body.

Normally, it would be prevented from leaving the body to hide one's identity, but it probably doesn't mean anything now.

'Tenelon will die here anyway.'

With my secret.

“Surely not, that’s a demon…?”

Tenelon looked at 'Angelica' who appeared, wrapping herself around my body, and asked in a trembling voice.

Do whatever you want.

As I sat up straight again without answering, with that thought in mind, a smile appeared on Tenelon's face.

“I see, so that’s why the demonization didn’t progress.”

When he received no answer, Tenelon began to let his imagination run wild.

The fact that Angelica and the 'Masinseong' effect didn't work has nothing to do with it, you punk.

“I now understand why you, a power-mad bastard, didn’t accept the horn! You were already raising a demon, so there was no need for it!”

The order is wrong.

At that time, 'Angelica' was not being raised.

“I am amazed that Lord Tenelon is so expressive.”

Ignoring Tenelon, who kept spouting nonsense, he began to wrap Angelica around the blade that held the 'Moonlight Sword'.

===

⇒ 〈Moonlight Sword〉 enters 〈Lunar Eclipse〉.

===

If you wrap your sword with 'Angelica' like this, it won't be susceptible to corrosion.

Perhaps, the phenomenon that occurs when touched by Tenelon's hand is caused by the 'residual thoughts' accumulated in the demon castle.

“Then, if we eliminate that demon, then yes……!”

I quickly approached Tenelon, who kept opening his mouth, and stabbed him in the stomach with my sword.

Phew──!

The blade pierced through his skin, and a handful of red blood burst out from his mouth.

That horrible face is covered in blood, it's unbearable to look at.

“Yes, killing you wouldn’t be a problem!”

No, you're saying we're not done talking yet?

At the moment when he was pondering such a question, Tenelon began to caress the 'lunar eclipse' with both hands.

'You're stupid.'

The moment you put on 'Angelica', there is no longer any chance of the Moon Sword being damaged by corrosion.

===

⇒ The “Lunar Eclipse” has been lifted due to the influence of the holy relic “Mashinseong.”

===

In that moment, a creepy light flowed out from the 'Mashinseong' and began to synchronise with the 'Remnant Thought' in Tenelon's hand.

'what!?'

The guy's goal wasn't the 'Moon Sword'. To be exact, it was the 'Angelica' wrapped around the surface of the 'Moon Sword' that Tenelon was aiming for.

Gulp.

I heard a voice similar to the one Angelica used when she was flirting with me, and the black shadow that had been attached to the 'Moon Sword' began to gradually move towards where the 'Mashinseong' was.

Soon, another window appeared before my eyes.

===

⇒ Trait, 〈Angelica〉 has been removed from the traits.
